写的很细腻,25年里,两个家庭,6个人,各自细微的心理变化都刻画的很动人。——活在过去的恐惧里,害怕过去的灾难重演,反而促成了新的轮回。命运不需要惧怕,面对即可,逃避它,最终它还是会找回来,以奇怪而无奈的姿态。

折服于作者Kim Edwards对简洁文字的驾驭和调遣,极为简洁的句子,塑造出所有应当被想象的场景。风吹、雨落、车响、门晃……,成堆的细节,恰如其分地,呼应了各番人物的不同心理。

很一般。读起来就觉得作者始终憋着一股气,特别刻意的想制造一种压抑一生的大悲,整本书特别多的顿句、短句,希望以此放慢读者的阅读速度,去吸收她想表达的情感。但是感情和文字趋于平面,读起来觉得闷钝,加上很多情节发展出现断层,整体就是行云流水的反面。
